Alright....so I finished my build yesterday, I have not done any overclocking or anything...I wasn't planning on doing in the near future either. I was running "Can You Run It" to see if I can play some games when I noticed something crazy. It tells me "You Have: 2.81 GHz Performance Rated at: 6.3225 GHz" So am I at 2.81GHz? Or Is it save to tell people that my Rig is running at 6.3225GHz? When I look at my system properties, it shows 2.81Ghz. ?? I'm a little confused. I did a bit of research and I found that my components automatically Overclocked my CPU....?? Main Questions : So am I at 2.81GHz? Or Is it save to tell people that my Rig is running at 6.3225GHz? |

If you components did overclock your CPU it wouldn't be great enough to overclock it to 6+ GHz. Intel Core i7 930's cannot be overclocked to 6+ GHz without extreme full water cooling and even with that it would be over heating, but not dangerously. Try downloading CPU-Z, it will tell you the tempratures. And if it is HOT it may be 6+GHz, but I doubt it. |

no saying it is running at 6 anything GHz is not correct. 2.81 would be correct. however clock speed is starting to mean nothing in today computers, i propose doing a bench mark and saying how many FLOPS (FLoating point Opperations Per Seccond) that really says how much work your computer can actually do... |

If you have an "i" series processor then it would have turbo-boost but you wouldn't be able to reach a 6GHz. How many times did you run the test? What web browser are you using? Download CPU-Z or Speccy to see if it gives you a different reading. |

Don't worry: Your rig is running @2.81Ghz. What it means is that the chip manufacturer or that program misrated your processor as being able to run @6+Ghz. This is VERY unrealistic, but may be correct. However, I wouldn't bet on it. |
